Bio

Current Research Interests:

I specialize in the use of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to study the optical, vibrational, and electronic behavior of structures and materials at the nanoscale. Utilizing ultra-high energy resolution monochromated electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) I examine infrared excitations in materials such as molecular vibrations, phonons, and shallow electron energy levels.  Also, I work on directly integrating advanced numerical and image processing techniques into distributable iPython notebooks and microscope control software to facilitate efficient acquisition and analysis of complex multidimensional monochromated EELS datasets.
